What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

And consider other genres than the one you most want to work in—making a living as even another kind of writer is better than most of the alternatives. Cultivate relationships with editors, readers, marketers, and others who may prove helpful to you. Never pass up an opportunity to help someone else in their writing career and always be kind but relentlessly honest. And don’t be a writer who thinks about writing all the time—actually sit down and write as often as you can stand it.(less)

Nice words from terrific writer Terri Cheney

“Jeff Wallach is a prodigiously gifted writer—insightful, funny, and always surprising. Mr. Wizard twists and turns like a double helix. When you finish, you’ll want to go back to the very first page and experience it all over again, just to see how Wallach pulled it off.”

--Terri Cheney, author of New York Times bestseller, Manic: A Memoir
